Store-and-Forward Switching

Store-and-forward switching is the best choice to keep the network effective and reliable. Store-and-forward provides excellent error-checking function. For example, CRC, runt and collision filter.

Store-and-Forward reads the entire data packet, verifies the packet and sends it to the destination port. No bad packets on network, packets can be switched between different network speeds. Store-and-forward latency is the same as sending a complete packet, so you will need to consider this latency when you test the performance.

Full-duplex

Full duplex is a transmission method that effectively doubles the bandwidth of a link between a network card and a switch. It disables the collision detection mechanism, so the card and the switch can transmit and receive concurrently at full wire speed on each of the transmit and receive paths. A full-duplex segment can use the same Category 5 UTP cable used by 10BaseT Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
